A Commentary on Ovid’s Metamorphoses Alessandro Barchiesi New York University
Phillip Hardie
Trinity College, Cambridge
E. J. Kenney
University of Cambridge
Joseph D. Reed
Brown University, Rhode Island
Gianpiero Rosati
Scuola Normale Superiore, Pisa
Description Comprising fifteen books and over two hundred and fifty myths, Ovid’s Metamorphoses is one of the longest extant Latin poems from the ancient world and one of the most influential works in Western culture. It is an epic on desire and transgression that became a gateway to the entire world of pagan mythology and visual imagination. This, the first complete commentary in English, covers all aspects of the text – from textual interpretation to poetics, imagination, and ideology – and will be useful as a teaching aid and an orientation for those who are interested in the text and its reception. Historically, the poem’s audience includes readers interested in opera and ballet, psychology and sexuality, myth and painting, feminism and posthumanism, vegetarianism and metempsychosis (to name just a few outside the area of Classical Studies).
Key Features • The first full commentary in English Ovid’s Metamorphoses, revising and updating the earlier Italian edition published by Fondazione Valla (2005-2014) • Written by five extremely distinguished scholars of Ovid and of Latin poetry • Aimed at all those (within and outside Classical Studies) who are interested in the text and its reception

Philo of Alexandria: Quod deterius potiori insidiari soleat Introduction, Text, Translation, and Commentary
Adam Kamesar
Hebrew Union College – Jewish Institute of Religion, Ohio
Description Philo’s Quod deterius is a discussion of the Cain and Abel episode in the Bible. Philo follows the Greek translation of the Septuagint, not the Hebrew text, although he may have known traditions that relied on the Hebrew. His treatment of the text is unique, combining elements of traditional Greek commentary on literary texts, moralizing diatribe in highly wrought rhetorical language, midrashic-like exegesis involving the extensive use of other biblical passages, and philosophical theory. The present commentary illuminates these various components of Philo’s discussion, especially by means of parallel texts, pagan, Jewish, and Christian, from across antiquity. Using these sources and paying attention to ancient exegetical thinking, Adam Kamesar attempts to trace the overall direction and coherence of what Philo is saying. This kind of treatment of Philo’s allegorical treatises has rarely been undertaken before on this scale. The volume also includes a new English translation of the work.
Key Features • Provides the Greek text in a redesigned format along with a new translation • Investigates and sets out the sources of and parallels to Philo’s exegetical discussions • Illustrates the structure of the text by means of chapter division and introductory summaries of each chapter’s content
Contents 1. Introduction; 2. Detailed Outline of the Contents of the Quod deterius; 3. List of Departures from the Text of the Cohn-Wendland Edition; 4. Text and Translation; 5. Commentary.

Cicero: Divinatio in Q. Caecilium C. B. Watson
University of Oklahoma
Description This is the first scholarly commentary on Cicero’s Divinatio in Caecilium and the first new critical edition in over 100 years. The commentary demonstrates that the Divinatio was atypical of the genre. In both form and content, the speech is styled as a forensic prosecution rather than a pretrial deliberation. It also functions as an effective piece of literary criticism and a pedagogical treatise to preface the Verrine corpus. Consequently scholars are encouraged to reconsider how published oratory in Rome functioned as teaching aid, personal propaganda, historical record, and literary production. The Divinatio touches on issues with strong resonance for contemporary society: the responsibility of the government to represent and defend marginalised communities, cultural identity and integration in a multi-ethnic society, the perils of persuasive speech, abuses of political and military power, due process of law, and changing notions of intellectual and cultural property.
Key Features • A new, complete, and accurate critical edition in light of recent manuscript discoveries • Provides a thorough analysis of Cicero’s rhetorical, legal, and pedagogical techniques in the speech • Demonstrates the shortcomings of the long-held assumptions about the Roman process of divinatio that were based on an uncritical reading of this speech

Geographers of the Ancient Greek World Selected Texts in Translation
D. Graham J. Shipley University of Leicester
Description Ancient Greek geographical writing is represented not just by the surviving works of the well-known authors Strabo, Pausanias, and Ptolemy, but also by many other texts dating from the Archaic to the Late Antique period. Most of these texts are, however, hard for non-specialists to find, and many have never been translated into English. This volume, the work of an international team of experts, presents the most important thirty-six texts in new, accurate translations. In addition, there are explanatory notes and authoritative introductions to each text, which offer a new understanding of the individual writings and demonstrate their importance: no longer marginal, but in the mainstream of Greek literature and science. The book includes twenty-eight newly drawn maps, images of the medieval manuscripts in which most of these works survive, and a full Introduction providing a comprehensive survey of the field of Greek and Roman geography.
Key Features • Provides accurate, and in some cases the first, English translations of these ancient geographical works, together with authoritative introductions and notes • Delivers up-to-date, authoritative assessments of the character, significance, and legacy of each text • The main Introduction presents a comprehensive, accessible survey of the whole of Ancient Greek and Roman geography, and the place of geographical writing within it

The Cambridge Anthology of British Medieval Latin Carolinne White University of Oxford
Catherine Conybeare
Bryn Mawr College, Pennsylvania
Description This anthology presents in two volumes a series of Latin texts (with English translation) produced in Britain during the period AD 450-1500. Excerpts are taken from Bede and other historians, from the letters of women written from their monasteries, from famous documents such as Domesday Book and Magna Carta, and from accounts and legal documents, all revealing the lives of individuals at home and on their travels across Britain and beyond. It offers an insight into Latin writings on many subjects, showing the important role of Latin in the multilingual society of medieval Britain, in which Latin was the primary language of written communication and record and also developed, particularly after the Norman Conquest, through mutual influence with English and French. The thorough introductions to each volume provide a broad overview of the linguistic and cultural background, while the individual texts are placed in their social, historical and linguistic context.
Key Features • Provides a wide variety of texts related to important historical events, to medieval learning and culture, or revealing the lives of individuals from royalty to ordinary men, women and children • Helps the reader understand the texts through accompanying English translations and notes, as well as explanations of the documentary sources and manuscripts in which many of the sources are preserved • Sets the texts in a historical and linguistic context, showing the multilingual nature of British society, and the changing manner in which Latin and the vernacular languages (particularly English and French) borrowed from each other

Description Covering the precolonial period to the present, The Cambridge History of Latin American Law in Global Perspective provides a comprehensive overview of Latin American law, revealing the vast commonalities and differences within the continent as well as entanglements with countries around the world.

The Cambridge History of Strategy Isabelle Duyvesteyn Universiteit Leiden
Beatrice Heuser University of Glasgow
Description The Cambridge History of Strategy presents a global history exploring of how leaders of social groups, civilisations, empires and states have practiced strategy over the course of the past three millennia. With contributions from leading experts in each subject, these volumes analyse a series of notable case studies to reflect on the formulation and application of strategy rather than on theory. Transcending the traditional Western focus and modern-state-based framework of strategic studies, this Cambridge History offers the inclusion of a wider range of political actors and cases from parts of the world hitherto largely excluded from the literature. This leads to a discussion of whether central claims in the field of strategic studies that the practice of strategy exhibits universal features that apply always holds up against empirical evidence from different centuries and cases beyond the West.
Key Features • Offers new perspectives on the history of strategy • With a global approach, it transcends the traditional boundaries of Euro- and Western-centric studies of the history of strategy • Features a broad range of case studies from a team of leading subject experts

Worlds of Byzantium Religion, Culture, and Empire in the Medieval Near East

Jack Tannous
Princeton University, New Jersey
Description Worlds of Byzantium offers a new understanding of what it means to study the history and visual culture of the Byzantine empire during late antiquity and the Middle Ages. Arguing that linguistic and cultural frontiers do not always coincide with political ones, it suggests that Byzantine studies should look not only within but also beyond the borders of the Byzantine empire and include the history of Christian populations in the Muslim-ruled Middle East and neighbouring states like Ethiopia and Armenia and integrate more closely with Judaic and Islamic studies. With essays by leading scholars in a wide range of fields, it offers a vision of a richly interconnected eastern Mediterranean and Near East that will be of interest to anyone who studies the premodern world.
Key Features • An interdisciplinary volume that includes cutting-edge visual, archaeological, and textual studies • Provides a variety of potential models for re-envisioning how Byzantine Studies and Near Eastern Studies relate to one another • Shows how a re-envisioned and expanded understanding of Byzantium can function in practice and the rich results of such an expanded understanding

Description The study of gesture-the movements people make with their hands when talking-has grown into a well-established field and research is still being pushed into exciting new directions. Bringing together a team of leading scholars, this Handbook provides a comprehensive overview of gesture studies, combining historical overviews as well as current, concise snapshots of state-of-the-art, multidisciplinary research. Organised into five thematic parts, it considers the roles of both psychological and interactional processes in gesture use, and considers the status of gesture in relation to language. Attention is given to different theoretical and methodological frameworks for studying gesture, including semiotic, linguistic, cognitive, developmental, and phenomenological theories and observational, experimental, corpus linguistic, ethnographic, and computational methods. It also contains practical guidelines for gesture analysis along with surveys of empirical research. Wide ranging yet accessible, it is essential reading for academic researchers and students in linguistics and cognitive sciences.

The Cambridge Handbook of Facial Recognition in the Modern State Rita Matulionyte
Macquarie University, Sydney
Monika Zalnieriute
University of New South Wales, Sydney
Description In situations ranging from border control to policing and welfare, governments are using automated facial recognition technology (FRT) to collect taxes, prevent crime, police cities and control immigration. FRT involves the processing of a person’s facial image, usually for identification, categorisation or counting. This ambitious handbook brings together a diverse group of legal, computer, communications, and social and political science scholars to shed light on how FRT has been developed, used by public authorities, and regulated in different jurisdictions across five continents. Informed by their experiences working on FRT across the globe, chapter authors analyse the increasing deployment of FRT in public and private life. The collection argues for the passage of new laws, rules, frameworks, and approaches to prevent harms of FRT in the modern state and advances the debate on scrutiny of power and accountability of public authorities which use FRT. This book is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
Key Features • Highlights the diverse perspectives, concerns, and hopes in relation to facial recognition technology • Outlines risks, challenges, and opportunities to mitigate and prevent harms brought about by FRT tools • Available as Open Access on Cambridge Core

Corporate Tax Law Structure, Policy and Practice Second edition
Peter Harris
University of Cambridge
Description New edition taking account of the substantial developments of the last decade. It considers the Trump US tax reforms of late 2017 and then the Biden reforms of 2022. It recognises the economic rise of China by incorporating its corporate tax system for comparison. This creates increased balance, introducing a second civil law jurisdiction. This edition also incorporates many changes resulting from international tax developments including the Base Erosion and Profit Shifting reports and the current Two Pillar approach. The edition documents how corporate and international tax systems are increasingly integrated. This is particularly the case with minimum taxes, hybrid financial instruments and excessive debt financing. The interface between corporate tax base and financial accounts is another area of particular interest. Countries continue to tinker with the use of corporate losses, corporate tax rates and dividend relief. Other areas of development include corporate tax subjects, buy backs and dividend stripping.
Key Features • Provides a conceptual framework to explain complex legal provisions and promotes depth of understanding and lateral thinking on the issues facing corporate tax systems • Includes simple practical examples to illustrate how conceptual issues translate into practical difficulties • Compares different approaches taken by countries in their domestic law with particular focus on China, Germany, the UK and the US
Contents Introduction; 1. Taxation of corporate income when derived; 2. Taxation of corporate income when distributed; 3. Taxation of corporate income: international aspects; 4. Creating share interests; 5. Transferring share interests; 6. Terminating share interests; 7. Varying share interests; 8. Dividend and capital stripping and value shifting.

Technology and Literature Adam Hammond University of Toronto
Description Whereas previous books have explored how literature depicts or discusses scientific concepts, this book argues that literature is a technology. It shows how literature has been shaped by technological revolutions, and reveals the essential work that literature has done in helping to uncover the consequences of new technologies. Individual chapters focus on how specific literary technologies – the development of writing, the printing press, typewriters, the computer – changed the kinds of stories it was possible to tell, and how one could tell them. They also cover the way that literature has engaged with non-literary technologies – clocks, compasses, trains, telegraphs, cameras, bombs, computer networks – to help its readers to work through the new social configurations and new possibilities for human identity and imagination that they unveil. Human life is inescapably mediated through technology; literature demonstrates this, and thus helps its readers to engage consciously and actively with their technological worlds.
Key Features • Shows how major technological shifts – from the invention of writing to the development of digital text – affected literary production • Provides a series of readable chapters on literary engagements with particular technologies, from compasses to cameras to bombs • Essays present media history in an accessible and engaging way

The Cambridge Guide to Mixed Methods Research for Theatre and Performance Studies Tracy C. Davis
Northwestern University, Illinois
Paul Rae
University of Melbourne
Description We often know performance when we see it – but how should we investigate it? And how should we interpret what we find out? This book demonstrates why and how mixed methods research is necessary for investigating and explaining performance and advancing new critical agendas in cultural study. The wide range of aesthetic forms, cultural meanings, and social functions found in theatre and performance globally invites a corresponding variety of research approaches. The essays in this volume model reflective consideration of the means, processes, and choices for conducting performance research that is historical, ethnographic, aesthetic, or computational. An international set of contributors address what is meant by planning or designing a research project, doing research (locating and collecting primary sources or resources), and the ensuing work of interpreting and communicating insights. Providing illuminating and necessary guidance, this volume is an essential resource for scholars and students of theatre, performance, and dance.
Key Features • Equips both novice and more experienced researchers to identify and clearly articulate approaches that optimize their projects at each step of planning, researching, and writing • Explicates and demystifies how approaches are identified, combined, used, and related to critical perspectives in both theoretical and practical terms • Provides a diverse set of perspectives in different formats that will appeal to a wide variety of readers – including explanatory prefaces, detailed introductions, reflective conclusions, conversations, and single-authored essays, alongside case studies, dialogues, and overviews

Literature and Medicine Anna M. Elsner
Universität St Gallen, Switzerland
Monika Pietrzak-Franger Universität Wien, Austria
Description The experiences of health and illness, death and dying, the normal and the pathological have always been an integral part of literary texts. This volume considers how the two dynamic fields of medicine and literature have crossed over, and how they have developed alongside one another. It asks how medicine, as both science and practice, shapes the representation of illness and transforms literary form. It considers how literary texts across genres and languages of disease have put forward specific conceptions of medicine and impacted its practice. Taking into account the global, multilingual and multicultural contexts, this volume systematically outlines and addresses this double-sidedness of the literature-medicine connection. Literature and Medicine covers a broad spectrum of conceptual, thematic, theoretical, and methodological approaches that provide a solid foundation for understanding a vibrant interdisciplinary field.
Key Features • Introduces readers to an important variety of subfields (Narrative Medicine, Critical Medical Humanities, Health Humanities, Graphic Medicine) key to the interaction of medicine and literature in the past twenty years • Offers historical, aesthetic and political perspectives on how medicine and literature are connected • Provides readers with transcultural approaches and examples that are based on but move beyond the Anglosphere

Pirandello in Context Patricia Gaborik
The American University of Rome Series: Literature in Context
Description For students of Luigi Pirandello’s life and works, this volume provides a multi-faceted view spanning the many genres in which he wrote, from poetry and essays to fiction and drama. It gives a true sense of Pirandello’s remarkable sensitivity to place – from his native Sicily to Germany and Latin America – and of how his perspective was shaped by a wide range of interlocutors with varying professional backgrounds, from contemporary philosophers to fellow playwrights like Bernard Shaw, directors like Max Reinhardt and the actress Marta Abba. Diverse contributors explore the sheer genre-bending originality of Pirandello’s humor, metatheatre, and fantastic tales, and reveal how profound shifts in society, culture, and politics in his time – Freud, Futurism, Fascism – conditioned not just his thought but also his meteoric rise to fame. A final section is dedicated to Pirandello’s legacy in literature and drama throughout the twentieth century and into the twenty-first.
Key Features • Engages recent scholarship from multiple perspectives, modelling an effective interdisciplinary approach and introducing students to a range of scholarly traditions in literature and drama studies • Comprehensive in scope, exploring dozens of Pirandello’s works from numerous vantage points and allowing students to engage in the conversation about Pirandello beyond a handful of his most famous works • Enlarges the existing portrait of Italian theatre in the age of Pirandello, revealing its array of interactions with broader European trends in literature and performance

A New History of Theatre in France Clare Finburgh Delijani
Goldsmiths, University of London
Christian Biet
Goldsmiths, University of London
Description Theatre in France was the first in Europe to be written in the vernacular as opposed to Latin. It has provided the English language with the medieval word farce, the early-modern word role, and the modern term mise en scène. Molière is single-handedly responsible for launching European-style playwriting in North Africa. Today, it is only a slight exaggeration to say that it’s harder to get tickets for the Festival d’Avignon, one of the world’s largest theatre festivals, than for the Rolling Stones’ farewell tour. Containing chapters by globally eminent theatre experts, many of whom will be read in English for the first time, this collaborative history testifies to the central part theatre has played for over a thousand years in both French culture and world culture. Crucially, too, it places centrestage the genders, ethnicities and classes that have had to wait in the wings of theatres, and of theatre criticism.
Key Features • Covering each century since the tenth, the book provides a comprehensive analysis of theatre in France spanning nearly an entire millennium, and enables readers to situate analyses of particular periods, movements or artists within a broad picture of theatre and history in France • Accessibly written for new readers, the book also contains new and original studies by the world’s leading experts on theatre in France, offering both an engaging entry point to those new to the subject and new knowledge and approaches for long-standing experts and scholars • Enacts a timely and important reappraisal of the role of groups who are habitually written out of theatre history, including women, racialized people and people with disabilities, opening up routes for further research

Kripke’s Wittgenstein on Rules and Private Language at 40 Claudine Verheggen York University, Toronto
Description Saul Kripke’s Wittgenstein on Rules and Private Language is one of the most celebrated and important books in philosophy of language and mind of the past forty years. It generated an avalanche of responses from the moment it was published and has revolutionized the way in which we think about meaning, intentionality, and the work of Ludwig Wittgenstein. It introduced a series of questions that had never been raised before concerning, most prominently, the normativity of meaning and the prospects for a reductionist account of meaning. This volume of new essays reassesses the continuing influence of Kripke’s book and demonstrates that many of the issues first raised by Kripke, both exegetical and philosophical, remain as thought-provoking and as relevant as they were when he first introduced them.
Key Features • Reassesses the continuing influence of one of the most celebrated and important books in philosophy of language and mind of the past 40 years • Demonstrates that issues in philosophy of language and mind first raised by the book remain urgent and unsettled • Explores the continuing relevance of the book, not only to the interpretation of Wittgenstein, but also to central issues in philosophy of language and mind
Contents Introduction; 1. Kripke’s Wittgenstein’s skepticism about rules and meaning: in defense of the standard interpretation; 2. Putting Wittgenstein back into Kripkenstein: meaning skepticism and knowing how to go on; 3. Answering Kripke’s skeptic: dispositions without ‘dispositionalism’; 4. Wittgensteinean notions of uniformity and kripkensteinean skepticism; 5. Wittgenstein’s naturalism and the skeptical paradox; 6. Kripke and Wittgenstein on rules and meaning; 7. Semantic normativity, properly so called; 8. What is the skeptical problem? Wittgenstein’s response to Kripke; 9. How not to brush questions under the rug; 10. Quadders and zombies: a kripkean argument against materialism; 11. Communitarianism, interpersonalism and individualism in Kripke’s ‘Skeptical Solution’; 12. ‘Considered in isolation’; 13. The Meaning of meaning ascriptions: assertability conditions and meaning facts; Bibliography; Index.

Kant’s Critique of Practical Reason Background Source Materials
Michael Walschots
Martin Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg, Germany Series: Cambridge Philosophical Texts in Context
Description Kant did not initially intend to write the Critique of Practical Reason, let alone three Critiques. It was primarily the reactions to the Critique of Pure Reason and the Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals that encouraged Kant to develop his moral philosophy in the second Critique. This volume presents both new and first-time English translations of texts written by Kant’s predecessors and contemporaries that he read and responded to in the Critique of Practical Reason. It also includes several subsequent reactions to the second Critique. Together, the translations in this volume present the Critique of Practical Reason in its full historical context, offering scholars and students new insight into Kant’s moral philosophy. The detailed editorial material appended to each of the eleven chapters helps introduce readers to the life and works of the authors, outlines the texts translated, and points to relevant passages across Kant’s works.
Key Features • Presents new and first-time English translations of eighteenth-century texts that are essential for understanding Kant’s moral philosophy in historical context. • Offers translations that are faithful to the original texts yet highly readable • Includes informative introductory and editorial material that helps clarify the significance and content of the texts translated, as well as provides guidance for further reading.
